Step 1
Combine chili powder, ginger, cayenne, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss lamb cubes with the spice mixture until fully coated.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Working in two batches, sear lamb 2-3 minutes per side until edges char.
Step 3
Transfer cooked lamb to a plate. Return all lamb to the skillet and toss for 30 seconds to finish cooking through.
Step 4
Serve hot with sliced red onion and a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the top.
